> yeah just buy an 86TB drive every year and run the node 24/7 to avoid penalties
This is healthy skepticism, these are things the crypto community would write in jest, on twitter. For the most part this is a massive exaggeration lol.
> how many people are actually able to do this
Not many, but a rapidly growing number of people are. Its more of a consumer protection problem and people are getting better at it.
> I'm not against crypto and i'm not sure yet about web3 but if it requires buying some kind of token to participate then i am skeptical.
There are certainly node based projects like that. Some are interesting, some should be avoided, some use tokens as a prerequisite for access, some don't, some are articulately explained and have free testnets you can simulate things on. Its up to the individual or team that created the project.
